ATRIPLEX SILVER HOLLY
ATRIPLEX SILVER HOLLY
Atriplex “Silver Holly” is a new, compact and well-branched variety with too many uses! Its leaves are shaped similar to holly but they are soft and in silvery-grayish color! Thanks to its silver tones and massive foliage, it creates the perfect contrast for any flower bed!
Silver Holly is drought, flood, heat and frost tolerant and totally not picky in soil types! It can grow even when temperature reaches +45oC and in dry soils it survives -10oC as well! You will probably find it in sunny positions but it can grow in shady locations too.
Combinations with bedding plants are unlimited but when it comes to Christmas decorations it is certainly one of the MUST HAVE items next to Poinsettia.www.marathonplants.com/en/atriplex

BLUE ANIGOZANTHOS
The first and only blue variant in existence world-wide, created after a decade of extensive breeding: Anigozanthos Masquerade!

Carnivale: Vivid purple colored flowers pop out of a blueish foliage
Aussie Spirit: Disease tolerant variety producing dense stems of gold and green flowers

SALVIA OROS
Salvia “Oros” is a series of hybrids that withstand extensive drought periods, very diverse climate conditions, resist frost and have low maintenance needs.
Moreover, they show great flowering performance with a lot of spikes and many flowers on them when used in the garden!
As if the garden performance was not enough, Salvia “Oros” varieties have a double role as a herb! Its parent line has served humanity for centuries, being used for medical purposes – like healing teas – or in the kitchen, spicing many different dishes.
